Inhaling the smoke from burning plants is bad for your lungs. That’s true whether the plants are tobacco leaves in a cigarette or whole trees in a forest fire. The reason you mostly hear about the bad effects of tobacco and marijuana smoke is that people try to avoid breathing most other kinds of smoke.

A cigarette is basically a device for burning tobacco leaves and breathing the smoke in order to get nicotine. There’s no way to make a cigarette that you use without breathing smoke, just like you can’t make a bicycle that you use remotely from across the room. It’s impossible by definition.

They have made devices for breathing nicotine without breathing smoke. Vapes do that. Nicotine stresses your heart and is addictive (especially with how fast it goes into your body when you breathe it), but other than that vapes can be made without any of the bad chemicals that are in cigarette smoke.
